It's about time. RIM is in deep trouble, and is seeing its smartphone market share being eaten left and right by Android and iOS. After being more or less the equivalent of a deer caught in the headlights, the company has now finally unveiled its answer to the original iPhone - 5 years too late.

It doesn't matter how cool the os is if you can't do anything on it. I carried a Pre for 2 years, and I still feel it was a superior platform even if the phone sucked. It was a desert though. My Android phone and tablet are so much more functional than my webOS devices that I don't even think about the warts and pimples of Android. Sorry RIM, too little too late. There is no longer room in the marketplace for a third mobile platform, despite what the Microclones may tell you.
